Fisherkid93;
Check out the Fly of the Week a couple of weeks ago. It was a Scud pattern. I weight them and have very good luck.

Hi Fisherkid,
I gotta ask ya a question. I can
recommend patterns that work for me, but I
find different patterns more effective at
different times of the year. Which time of
the year are you tying for? Warm regards,
Jim
the bluegill in my pond don’t seem to mind whatever I toss at them so I have never used a specific fly.
Jim Hatch,
the time of year is spring. I am just tring to get a little stack going. And I
had no idea of what kind of fly to tie. I’m just going to sit inside all winter until spring comes so I can get out and do some real fishing.
thanks,
FisherKid93
tyflier,
the places on FAOL I would have never found. Thanks for the help. I hope out out of the people that give me their ideas i will be able to find a new fly to tie.
thanks,

Hi Fisher Kid,
Here is a pattern that should serve you
well. It’s a great fly from the bench of
Al Campbell. Can’t go wrong with it!G

If you’d check with the folks and see if
it’s OK, I’d be happy to send you a few of
my creations to try. Warm regards, Jim
You could try spending some time in the Panfish column here on this site. There are many flies and techniques there. An entire education on warmwater panfish, in fact.
Panfish are great to experiment flies on. I find that they hit anything that looks buggy and can fit into their mouths, or they think can fit into their mouths. I find panfish flies are great ways to test new ideas and techniques. Some of my top panfish flies were made from using left over scraps from other flies. Don’t set you sights on just one fly, experiment.
Who has time for stress when there are fish to catch.

Spiders,Spiders,Spiders…seems to be my current mantra…or broken record. I got a bunch from an Airgun/FF enthusiast and caught a whole pile of BGs, Bass and Crappie on them this year. Now I tie my own and really enjoy tying and fishing them. Mostly, I put a small glass bead head on them now to get them in the zone quicker with less count down or uplift during retrieval. I start out with darker colors and will shift to browns, yellows and whites as I go along depending on what is working. Good luck.
Steve
I’m with micropteris on this one.
All I’d add is that since bluegills aren’t as picky as trout and the fast action can tear apart a lot of flies quickly, I like durable flies that are quick to tie. A gurgle pop, or soft hackle tied with uni-thread is hard to beat for durability. Substiting synthetic materials like gold mylar tinsel in place of copper wire, or flashy chenille in place of peacock herl can add durability too.
I will submit that large gills are as hard as trout to catch. The little gills are easier but 10" + gills are no fools.
Rick
Jim Hatch,
my dad said yes, to see if you can send me some of your “creations” I would be glad. I’ll have my dad send you a e-mail and are adrress.
thanks,FisherKid93
See if you can get a copy of the current issue of Southwest Fly Fishing and take a look at “The Briminator”.

Thats fine Fisher Kid,
My edress is posted above. Just a few
warmwater flies that are working for me in
my waters. Hopefully they will for you too.
Maybe give you some ideas on patterns as
well. Warm regards, Jim
FisherKid,
Definitely try a McGinty. Dixieangler posted the link above.
Hey Fisher Kid,
I just posted a small box of flies for
you to play with. You should have them next
week. All I ask is that you let me know how
they work on your waters. The little white
spider is my spring time searching pattern.
It’s an easy tie and works well for me.
The bead heads will work well in spring for
crappy and bluegills. The jellybeans are a
favorite minnow pattern. I threw in some
finished bodies for you to tie. Hope you
get some use out of them. Warm regards, and
Happy Holidays, Jim
